What Is The Red Rash And Swelling In The Face?
my daughter will be 6 weeks tuesday. she has had a red rash on her face a couple of days. it looks a lot like either baby acne or eczema. Today i noticed the side of her face where the rash is worse is swollen. Her cheek in particular. Any ideas what this could be. She has a appointment with her doctor in the morning.

Hello,
It is most likely infant acne due to the placental transmission of maternal hormones. I suggest that you use a ketoconazole cream on the affected area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
